I started taking Spirulina for heavy metals (tin, strontium) and no, I have not idea how I got any of these. I assume my body doesn't break it down. Anyway, I am getting a herx reaction. All my troubled areas (neck shoulder hip thigh muscles) get achy and I am getting a bit of a Lyme headache and fatigue. I did not expect this. But Spirulina is packed with vitamins and minerals.

Anyone else have a reaction to this? Anyone know how long you take this?

Thanks

I may be wrong, but I think you are supposed to be doing/using something specific for binding the heavy metals when detoxing specifically for them - otherwise they can cause these issues as they are released from the tissues. The problem is that my brain isn't working well enough to concentrate over the noise the roofers are making!! ARG!!!!

I called my doctor this morning to report this reaction. Ill ask. Initially he simply said to take spirulina and cilantro or I can go to the other clinic I visit (which is a bit of a drive) to do the IV edta in the Myers Cocktail. I really feel the detox out of my muscles. I am hoping this will help my over journey to wellness by getting this road block out of the way.
It is taking a longer time than I expected. But at least I am off FMLA sick leave and back to work full time.

Cilantro!! I think that's what I was thinking of!! It would of course still be best to check with your doc, though.

And YAY!! Congratulations that you have been able to go back to work!! That's awesome news! And full time, yet! Something I've never accomplished.

I suppose congratulations are in order. However, if I was really honest with my self, I am pushing it. I do however, need to keep this job for a while. If I kept on part time "FMLA the 4-6 hours" I was allowed to work, I would have to start using up my vacation time. So I am going to be taking time off here and there so that I keep working. I'd rather take a day a week than whittle away my time off 2 hours a day.

Also, I ordered an far inferred Sauna. I am doing all that I can this time to get this stuff out! It should come next week.

Thanks for your support.
